Description

Information acquisition, storage and reporting method, device, terminal and network function

Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to an information acquisition, storage and reporting method, device, terminal and network function.

Background

Personal networking (Personal IoT Network, PIN) is a new network architecture and scenario that includes personal internet of things devices (PIN element with gateway capability, PEGC) or terminals with gateway capabilities, PIN devices or terminals with PIN device management functions, and other PIN devices (e.g., refrigerator, washing machine, watch, sweeping robot, etc.) that PEGC serves as one function introduced therein to route or forward data of other PIN devices, provided that the PIN is capable of performing the PEGC functions. For example: the wifi/bluetooth/PC 5 performs communication with other personal network devices, can forward network data to the personal network devices according to configured rules, and can forward data of other personal network devices to a network side. However, in the prior art, when the PIN forwards service data in the home network in the form of a gateway, the network side cannot know the capability of the PIN as the gateway, and thus cannot determine the corresponding operation when the PIN is used as the gateway.

Allowing or disallowing the terminal as PEGC (e.g., allowing or disallowing the terminal as gateway, relay, perform forwarding, etc.);

device information that allows or disallows access by the terminal (e.g., IP, ID, MAC that allows or disallows access by the terminal to the device);

peer information that allows or disallows terminal communication (e.g., IP range, FQDN, MAC range, identity, list of identities of peer devices that allow or disallow terminal communication).

Specifically: when the second network function comprises AF/PIN MF/UDM, the PIN information may comprise at least one of:

a) First information of PEGC;

b) Third information of PEGC;

c) Authorization parameter information of the PEGC and/or policy parameter information of the PEGC.

Alternatively, the PIN information may be forwarded by the UDM when said second network function comprises AF or PIN MF.

Step 2: after the second network function (PCF/SMF/UDM/AF/PIN MF) receives the PIN information, the corresponding operations are performed:

1) When the second network function comprises PCF, generating policy information of PEGC and/or authorization parameter information of PEGC, and sending the policy information and/or authorization parameter information of PEGC to the UE;

2) And when the second network function comprises SMF, generating PDU session strategy information related to PEGC and/or PDU authorization parameter information related to PEGC, and sending the PDU session strategy information and/or the PDU authorization parameter information related to PEGC to the UE. Wherein, the PDU grant parameters related to PEGC may include:

3) When the second network function comprises UDM/AF/PINMF, the second network function performs: determining whether the UE is in the role of PEGC; determining a data transmission timing, etc.

Example two: as shown in fig. 5, before the first network function sends PIN information to the second network function in example one, the second network function (e.g., PCF/SMF/UDM/AF/PINMF) sends a PIN information acquisition subscription or PIN information acquisition request to the first network function (e.g., UDR), where the PIN information acquisition subscription or PIN information acquisition request may include: the PEGC's identification information (e.g., PEGC's IP, IP range, FQDN, MAC range, identification list).

Wherein, if the first network function receives the acquisition subscription, the first network function (UDR) performs step 1 in fig. 5; and, upon detecting a change in the PIN information, the first network function (UDR) continues to perform step 1 in fig. 5.

If the first network function receives the acquisition request, the first network function (UDR) performs step 1 in fig. 5.

The other steps in fig. 5 are similar to those in fig. 4, and are not described in detail herein.

Example three: as shown in fig. 6, the first network function (e.g., UDR) receives PIN information and stores the PIN information. Comprising the following steps:

step A: both the terminal and the second network function (e.g. PCF/SMF/UDM/AF/PINMF) may send the PIN information to the UDR requesting that the UDR store the PIN information, in particular:

a) UE sends the first information of PEGC to the UDR;

b) When the second network function comprises PCF, the PCF transmits the authorization information and/or the strategy parameter information of PEGC;

c) When the second network function comprises an SMF, the SMF transmits PDU session policy information and/or PDU session parameter information related to PEGC;

d) When the second network function comprises an AF/PIN MF, the AF/PIN MF sends second information of the PEGC;

e) When the second network function comprises a UDM, the UDM transmits third information of the PEGC and/or related information of the PEMC.

And (B) step (B): the UDR receives the PIN information and stores the PIN information.

Example four: as shown in fig. 7, the terminal sends the first information of the PEGC to a second network function (e.g., PCF, SMF), and the second network function may generate, based on the first information of the PEGC, policy information of the PEGC and/or authorization parameter information of the PEGC, PDU session policy information related to the PEGC and/or PDU authorization parameter information related to the PEGC of the UE.

a) When the second network function includes a PCF, the first information of the PEGC may be carried in a 5G MM container (5G MM container) or in a UE policy container (UE policy container) in a registration request message, which may be forwarded by the AMF to the PCF. Alternatively, the first information of the PEGC is carried in UE policy container of the UE's policy configuration request.

The first information of the PEGC may include at least one of:

identification information;

address information;

PDU session information;

subscription information;

b) When the second network function includes SMF, the first information of the PEGC may be carried in a PDU session establishment request and/or a PDU session update request.

Step 2: the PCF receives the first information of the PEGC sent by the UE, generates policy information of the PEGC of the UE and/or authorization parameter information of the PEGC, and sends the policy information and the authorization parameter information of the PEGC to the UE. The SMF receives the first information of the PEGC of the UE, generates PDU session strategy information and/or PDU authorization parameters of the UE, and sends the PDU session strategy information and/or PDU authorization parameters to the UE.

In the embodiment of the application, the first network function sends PIN information to the second network function, and the second network function executes corresponding operations such as policy generation of PEGC, PDU session policy generation and the like based on the PIN information; the second network function sends the PIN information to the first network function, which stores the PIN information. The UE reports PIN information (first information of the PEGC) to a network function (comprising a first network function and/or a second network function), and the network function generates corresponding authorization parameters of the PEGC and/or strategy parameters of the PEGC and sends the authorization parameters and the strategy parameters of the PEGC to the UE. In the home network, the device obtains the PIN information of the device such as the PEGC, and can determine whether the PEGC is authorized as the gateway or not and the association information such as the gateway according to the PIN information, so as to determine the corresponding operation, for example: and configuring authorization policies and/or authorization parameters and the like for devices such as PEGC.
